Herman Taimadge was Inau
gurated as governor of Georgia
today in Atlanta. He will fill
' out the unexpired term of his
% father, the late Governor Eu
gene* Taimadge, who though
elected did not live to be
sworn Into office.
Georgia has been spilt into
Cwo political camps for many
years, the Taimadge faction
and the anti-Taimadge group,
tines were pretty well drawn.
Sometimes Gen^ and his fol
lowers were elected—sometimes
the opposition was the choice
ol tha voters.
Meet campaigns In past years
have been conducted not with
issues the question, but per
sonalities. People either voted
for or against Gene most of the
time.
Now Herman Taimadge, son
of the man who! sat in the
governor’s chair several terms,
has a chance to eliminate a lot
of the factionalism that exists
in Georgia. Taimadge, natural
ly, will inherit much of his fa
ther’s following. It Is in the
- anti-Taimadge camp that he
can break down factional poll
tics.
If Herman Taimadge makes
the kind of governor we hope
he will make- there „wijl no
longer be Taimadge and antl
Talmadge groups. k %
mm
Herman Taimadge is a young
man. He is well educated and
has a keen mind. He has
everything to gain by making a
"ood governor and everything
to lose by making a poor
governor.
We believe, and sincerely
hope, that he will choose to
make a great governor knd that
by the time his present admin
lltration has ended that peo
p’e In Georgia will once again
consider issues and not per
sonalities when they vote.
Good Evening and his news
paper certalrily intend to give
the young^eovemor all the help
they can. We will praise him
when we think he is right, but
we reserve the-right to criti
cize if we think him wrong.
We certainly don’t Intend to
“snipe”-, at his administra
tion—like some “die hards”
may do. We actually want Her
man Taimadge to make good In
a big way. It is best for Geor
gia that he make good and we
pledge him our support.
Let’s give ^he young man a
fair chance. Let’s work with
him towards making Georgia a
better, finer state.

Communist Casualties
West Declines To
Negotiate Directly
On Berlin Crisis
The Fight For Peace
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Chinese government told
skeptical world today ii;
nad routed the communists east
Suchow and Imposed 90,000 casual
ties.
The government made the same
kind of claims shortly before Tsi
nan, Chinhsien and Mukden fell to
the reds.
It happened thi Chinese Alt
Force actually had. blunted he red
attacks some 200 miles from Nan
king, but that the communists were
regrouping for another assault, ra
ther than retreating. v
The United States, Britain and
Franc^ declined a idea of two lead
ing U. N. officials to negotiate di
rectly a four-power settlement o:
-he Berlin crisis. They told Sec
retary General Trygve Lie and As
sembly President H. V. Evatt, who
made the appeal Saturday, 'hat the
issue should remain before the Se
curity Council.
ng while the Russians continue the
3erlhvblockade. The American re
jection repeated this. Russia in her
eply Tuesday said any discussion
of Berlin must come during a com
plete airing of the whole German
problem.
Secretary of State Marshall and
Warren Austin, chief U. S. delegate
to the United Nations, are to leave
Paris shortly. Austin is going to a
U. S. hospital. Marshall 1> to re
iort to President Truman Monday
ind is not expected to go back to
Paris.
The China problem may be high
m the Truman-Marshall agenda.
Ambassador Wellington Koo asked
tor a U. S. expression of “sympathy,
olldarity and support” of Chiang
Kai-Shek’s Nationalist government
to bolster Chinese morale.
The Chinese also appeared to
want about $1,000,000,000 worth of
free arms and the same kind of
guarantee the U. S. gave Greece—a
virtual pledge that the communists
will not be permitted to take over.
lt seemed pretty late for that.
The U. S. consul at Shanghai Is
sued a second emergency 'warning
for Americans to get out while they
